The United States has firmly supported Israel in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but this move has led to rocket attacks on the US military in Syria, drone attacks in the Red Sea**, and even a plot within the US military to overthrow it**.
The war in Gaza has resumed, the situation has become complicated, and the United States and Israeli merchant ships in the Red Sea have become targets. On December 3, the U.S. military claimed that three cargo ships had been attacked in the Red Sea"Carney"The destroyer rushed to the rescue, a merchant ship was hit by a missile, the damage was serious, and the other drones were shot down.
The U.S. command accused the Houthis of launching attacks that threaten international commerce and maritime security. A spokesman for the Houthis said Israel had ignored no-sail warnings, faced a counterattack, and threatened to continue to block Israeli ships from navigating the Red Sea until it halted its military operations in Gaza.
This move by the Houthis has important implications for Israel. Previously, the Houthis fired rockets into Israel in support of Hamas, but US air defenses had little success and failed to change the situation in Gaza. Attack ships, cut off Israeli supply lines, and form a containment on ground operations.
At the same time, the destruction of merchant shipping lanes affected Israel's maritime ** and economic development. This became an effective tactical means for the Houthis to strike at Israel. However, such a move may provoke retaliation from the United States and Israel, exacerbate the deterioration of the regional situation, increase the risk of war spillover, and make it difficult to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli contradictions.
Attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea involve many countries, which may lead to maritime security threats and international repercussions, and may trigger wider countries to be involved and the scale of the war to expand. The Houthis may face international condemnation and external interference, and the situation in the Middle East will be more complicated.
At the same time, the issue of extremism within the US military has attracted attention. According to the Pentagon's annual report, 78 active-duty military personnel are suspected of overthrowing **, and 44 military personnel are involved in terrorism. Such extreme behavior may stem from the tense political climate in the United States and the management of the military. The U.S. stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict could exacerbate military discontent and lead to extremist ideologies.
The US military has been attacked in Syria, and the escalation of the conflict is unlikely. The U.S. military has exercised restraint in the Middle East, avoided large-scale retaliation, and controlled the scale of the conflict. The internal contradictions and economic difficulties of the United States limit its military operations.
The hegemonic behavior of the United States in international affairs, such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Palestinian-Israeli war, has undermined regional stability and world peace, and the attack on the US military is the inevitable result of its foreign policy, reflecting the loss of the United States' sense of responsibility as a major country. The current situation of the US military and the regional situation reflect the deep-seated problems of US political and military policy.
